Square Swap (For Crochet/Knitting)

christie · 12-01-2009, 11:20 AM

This is a great idea!

I know that Jess would be glad to see some of the many tubs of yarns I have go somewhere! I ran across a great sale at Michael's last year and well, being tactile... you get the idea! Bamboo... alpaca... oohhhhhh.... makes me wanna go home and just pet the skeins!

I never learned how to do granny squares, but I am sure I can make something work.

Would someone please be so kind to remind me later in the month? Its a busy time for us

on a calendar/fiscal year and I wouldnt want to forget!

I'll join!

And here is an added fun one if anyone is so inclined:
Make an extra square in the colors of the site and we can stitch them together for a lap quilt to auction at our first Reunion

OOH! I love that idea!

So crochet or knit our regular ones and then crochet or knit a square in pink and/or green for the site? MARVELOUS idea, Dusa!

If you want, please also make 1 extra one that is Pink/Green or a combo.

Per Dusa's suggestion we can make a blanket for the Site Reunion raffle/auction/etc.

I'll sign up as the (so far) only guy victim, err I mean participant.

I was liking blue, or neutral tones... but whatever works....

I do also like the 'fuscia-lime explosion' in tribute to the planet.
